Why get a no-contract NBN plan?

The main reason to dodge a contract is flexibility – whether it's because you're renting, aren't sure about the plan, or simply dislike commitment. The main downside is that you'll miss out on whatever added value that contract might bring, such as reduced set-up fees or bonus entertainment options.

Pros

  • Zero exit fees
  • Try out a plan or provider with no commitment
  • Renter-friendly

Cons

  • May have increased set-up/modem fees
  • Fewer bonus entertainment options

Month-to-month Internet service providers

The majority of broadband providers have month-to-month options these days, with only a couple like Mint Telecom forcing you into a contract. Even many providers that used to only sell contract plans have switched to monthly options as the norm, like Telstra or Optus.

It's important to note that when plans are advertised as being on a "month-to-month contract", it actually means there's no lock-in contract at all. This is because you're paying for your plan as each month passes, rather than being forced to stay on for 6 or 12 months (or more).

We've looked at no-contract plans available from a number of providers below. These are not the only plans available, so compare your options if there's another provider you're after that isn't listed.

Telstra no-lock-in contract plans

Telstra's monthly plans run from NBN 25 to NBN 100 speeds and have a waived $99 connection fee when you sign up online. Other features include:

  • Telstra Smart Modem with 4G backup, free after 24 months with Telstra but $9 for each month before that if you leave.
  • Free home phone line with included standard and mobile calls in Australia.
  • Access to bonus features including Telstra Air national Wi-Fi network and Telstra Plus rewards.
